A Wanaka stuntman's determination to find his stolen possessions has seen him recover more than $10,000 of property taken from his Cardrona Adventure Park workshop last month.

Ian Soanes, well-known for his V monster truck television advertisements and wheeling on a motorcycle down Baldwin St in Dunedin, had been on a mission to find property, worth between $10,000 and $15,000, stolen from his workshop in Cardrona on May 27.

Tools, a custom-made trailer and modified Suzuki RMX 2-stroke motorcycle as well as a welder, drop saw, grinder, water blaster and four car batteries were taken during the break-in.

Mr Soanes, who was not insured, drove around every day interviewing people in a bid to find his property as he was unable to run his business without his tools.

"He (the burglar) nearly folded my business," he said.

On Wednesday Mr Soanes decided to drop in to see a business associate in Alexandra and was shocked to find his partly dismantled trailer in the man's yard.

Police were called and after executing a search warrant in an industrial lockup on Boundary Rd they recovered most of Mr Soanes' stolen property.
